ISBN: 1-58705-327-6

As a final exam preparation tool, the four CCNP Quick Reference Sheets included in this value-priced bundle provide a concise review of all objectives on all four of the new CCNP exams (BSCI 642-901, BCMSN 642-812, ISCW 642-825, and ONT 642-845). These digital Short Cuts provide you with detailed, graphical-based information, highlighting only the key topics in cram-style format.

With these documents as your guide, you will review key concepts required to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, as well as edge applications that integrate voice, wireless, and security into the network. These fact-filled Quick Reference Sheets allow you to get all-important information at a glance, helping you to focus your study on areas of weakness and to enhance memory retention of essential exam concepts.
